Of course you cannot free yourself from the laws of nature; but the laws of nervous systems are not the same as the physical laws Picture Quote #1

Even philosophies who have denounced pseudosciences like psychoanalysis, have condoned pseudoscientific economic theories like neoclassical microeconomics. It is far safer and easier to criticize Freud and Jung than to criticize Milton Friedman and Friedrich Hayek, because the latter are backed by political movements whereas the former are not Picture Quote #1
